Day 448 Summer Solstice 2021….. already…. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😬😆

Can anyone else believe it’s the 21st June and Summer Solstice already?!?! Where has this year gone??

This celebrated the solstice in both north and south hemispheres

I think maybe we’re more surprised up in a Scotland as we haven’t had our “summer” yet and we usually get that in April or May.

How can the nights be “fair drawing in” after today already?!?!

I woke up at 3.50am…. It’s incredibly wrong when the time starts with a 3….. I’m sitting here at 4.15pm wondering why I’m so tired. Answered!!

I hadn’t booked in for the gym and I’m not gonna lie but I considered skipping it to catch up on some sleep this morning. I hadn’t booked, purely because I’d forgotten so I considered it so much that I woke at 3.50 and stayed awake rather than just waiting for my 5am alarm or resetting for 6.30am. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

So I ended up getting up quite easily.

(Should just say here that I just had a wee 44 minute nap there as I was awfy tired writing all that 😆)

So back to the Fit Body Farm… managed the 5 minute warm up run without stopping this morning which lets me see how much my fitness is coming on. It was all about weights and muscle toning today. It was another good one and I’m so glad I went!

It was a beautiful morning and actually warm. For the first time we had midges!

It was this sunny when I left

Hmmmmm here’s hoping our weather followed the green midgie rule this year. To be honest midges never seem to be a consideration for us and yet I see people asking about them on Scottish travel pages all the time. Maybe we’ve just been lucky….

So work then home and tidied the kitchen, did a washing, emptied and filled the dishwasher, tidied the sunroom and walked the dogs.

Been a while since we had a gate
Buttercups still everywhere!
Check out that big cloud! but actually the field is beautiful
Threatening rain but it’s very hot!
Heading home
How lovely is this foxglove with the village hall in the background

I then had my wee nap….. broken by Calaidh barking at the delivery I was waiting for but forgot I was waiting for… of course.

I really want to stay up for sunset tonight since I saw the sunrise but we will see… there’s a good chance I’ll be in bed by 8.30pm 😆 all that sea air over the weekend!

Stay safe everyone ☀️☀️☀️
